Puerto Rico Wedding Photographer

Elope In Puerto Rico

Thinking of a Puerto Rico Elopement?

Hi! Nice to meet you, I'm Cami! I'm a Puerto Rico wedding photographer that for the last 11 years has specialized in documenting beautiful authentic memories for over 300 couples.

Weddings are not one-size-fits-all events. Thanks to the increased access to travel, many couples opt out of the traditional weddings, choosing instead to elope to exotic, beautiful places where they can marry without strict timelines, investments, difficult compromises, and long guestlists.

With the ease of travel, American currency, bilingual natives, and a top-notch industry of wedding professionals, Puerto Rico is the perfect Caribbean destination for your elopement or micro-wedding.

Please note, although there are many definitions for elopements, on my business, it describes a wedding day just for the couple (and maybe two witnesses). Anything bigger than that, I consider it a micro-wedding since the dynamics change dramatically when there are guests involved.

Get Married in Puerto Rico

Most couples are OK with just an officiant and a set of rings, but in recent years, couples are increasingly opting for booking several services such as decor, transportation, hair, and make-up, and photography in order to have a mini-wedding just for the two of them, or for the two of them with several guests and witnesses.

After 11 years in the Puerto Rico wedding industry as a local and destination wedding photographer, I've increasingly grown to love elopements as a therapeutical break from big and flashy wedding days. No matter what you have in mind for your Puerto Rico elopement day, I'll be there to help!

Klara's Review

Working with Camille and her assistant was a dream! We eloped in San Juan and after going through photographers in PR we knew that Camille was the one and we need her. We were so happy when we found out that she will be able to photograph our wedding.. On the day of the wedding Camille came to the hotel, took our first look photos and then we went to old San Juan where wedding took place. And for the whole time it felt like we were just walking around with two old friends who are taking photos of us. You just can’ t believe how warm and friendly Camille is. From beginning to end she was very responsive and helpful! I cannot describe how good she is at capturing every moment of the day.. As we are a bit of photography lovers ourselves we really wanted the photos to be perfect. And boy are they perfect! So Camille and Camillo thank you again for everything you’ll be in our memories forever. To all of you brides to be looking for a photographer: just book Camille (if you’re not sure, check out her Instagram)! 🙂

ITinerary Planning

Each Puerto Rico elopement is unique! This is why after booking your elopement date, we'll go over all the details during a phone, video call, or e-mail consultation.

I'm not a planner for traditional weddings, but because of the simplicity of elopements and the direct impact that every single decision has on my photography output, I usually help couples plan out their elopement day providing them with local tips, vendor connections, guidance on choosing a location, and finally crafting a timeline together.

Now that you know what it is, what is it not?

My assistance in planning your elopement does not replace the professional wedding planner's services, they just overlap when it is an elopement for two. Anything bigger than a party of 4 (the couple + two witnesses) will be better served by hiring a wedding planner, as I can't provide assistance or arrangements for wedding events while I'm photographing and that requires a dedicated team.

Should you need it, within my vendor recommendation I'll be more than happy to recommend a small wedding planner that will be a valuable asset to help you manage everything.

Tracy's Review

Wonderful photographer and person!

 

If you’re getting married in Puerto Rico, please consider hiring Cami! Not only is she an excellent photographer, but perhaps even more importantly, she’s a warm, lovely human being who made us feel comfortable every step of the way. I also want to add, Cami is multi-talented! Throughout the photoshoot, she helped me to take down my wedding dress bustle and tie it back up so we were able to capture both in the photos.

Before even getting to Puerto Rico, she was so helpful and accommodating, going above and beyond to send me photos of potential ceremony sites so I could find the perfect location. She was also very flexible when we had to change our date. Overall, an amazing experience!

Michelle's Review

What is there not to love about Camille? She is sweet, friendly, professional, fair, and extremely good at what she does. I found her on Yelp (full review on there) because I sent out a request for proposal for all photographers in Puerto Rico, as my husband and I were getting elopement pictures done late June and we didn't know anyone in PR. Camille was one of about 7 vendors to respond to my inquiry (in just about an hour or 2) and just by looking at her work on her website (camillefontz.com), I knew she was the one. In terms of pricing, she was just right, trust me. Honestly, I think Camille's pictures are more unique and cater towards the mood of the couple anyway. 

She was super accommodating and very modest. She spoke perfect English so it was very easy to communicate all my crazy requests. On the day of the shoot, we had to change the venue unexpectedly and she didn't mind, no sweat. She showed up about 30 minutes early so she could get ideas on where to shoot and scope out the location beforehand. She even hand delivered the bouquet I ordered from Glow Events! She gave direction for posing when needed but as soon as she saw my husband and I relaxed, she began to allow us to take lead and quietly followed us around switching lenses every so often. The poses progressed very naturally. In the end, we had about 250 pictures all with amazing results. 

Overall, I would highly recommend Camille because from the moment she reached out, I trusted her. Entrust your most precious moments with a photographer that is friendly, laid back, modest, and professional. 

Thank you Camille Fontanez for capturing our day with your beautiful work!
